Can anyone here share swype.apk from \system\app directory taken from I5503? I have flashed mine to european firmware, I5500XWJJ6, and lost Indonesian language in swype. I'm not sure if rooting is needed to be able to see the \system\app or a file manager like astro can see it without rooting. I'm hoping I can install the swype.apk to my now I5500 and the licensed file is compatible between those phones. If it is not, I have an idea to make my own custom swype.apk containing languages that I would extract from the I5503's swype.apk. In any case, your help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Great! Thanks a lot man

Using universal androot, rooting is just one-click affair I was hesitating to root or flash my I5503 that I bought last month as it was rock solid and trouble-free. That was until I tried to install LauncherPro from the market that brought my phone to its knees. The phone kept self rebooting at the Android logo. Never thought an application could cause such a havoc. Unfortunately there is no keys combination at power up exist to reset to factory mode on this phone. So I ultimately resorted to unofficial flashing using Odin 4.28. There was no new firmware for I5503 at that time on samfirmware.com, and the I5503 firmware that available was arabic language, so I went ahead with the latest I5500 european firmware. I got it back to life again, and it is a good firmware, so I'm happy. But I lost everything, apps and data when I flashed it to a new firmware. I heard about Titanium Backup before the incident but could not run it as it is a root only app and as I said, was reluctant to root the phone for no reason. In retrospect, I should. So moral of the story is, rooting your phone is relatively a safe and easy process, and bring many benefits. Backup all the phone's apps and data for one, and for me the possibility to tether as well (using Barnacle wifi tether).

So the only feature I miss from the original I5503 firmware was support of Indonesian language in swype. I asked my fellow countrymen in a forum and got no respond yet, so I'd try my luck here as I know you guys have the same firmware. Thanks.

Thank you so much bro gocke

Unfortunately I5503's swype isn't compatible with the I5500 firmware, keep force closing. So now I'll try to extract the language and injecting to I5500's swype. I'll keep you posted. Thanks again, I know I can count on you guys

Sorry to hear that Visit this link for instruction on how to flash and revive your G5. Good luck bro.

I just finished creating a custom swype containing english uk, indonesian, and malay language that works for I5500. It might come handy to you. More information taken from readme.txt:

Hope it would be useful for some of you

Same as you. The person who made backup of the firmware must be a Russian dude. To switch to english, go to setting, choose language & keyboard (the fifth from the bottom of the list, the one with "A" icon), select the top option, then choose english.

As for the custom swype with malay, if you read my post again, I've already made one for us

Sure bro.. read about it here.
